Edmond About

    14 de febrero de 1828 – 16 de enero de 1885

    Edmond About fue un novelista, publicista y periodista francés cuyas obras a menudo exploraron los problemas sociales y políticos de su época con aguda observación y un toque de ironía. Ganó renombre por sus novelas satíricas, que frecuentemente abordaban temas contemporáneos y debilidades sociales, lo que le valió una reputación como maestro del ingenio y la sátira ligera. Su estilo, a menudo caracterizado por la agudeza y el humor, fue diseñado tanto para entretener como para provocar la reflexión. En obras particularmente bien recibidas, ofreció una perspectiva crítica sobre la sociedad y la política francesas de su tiempo.
